A disappointing Saturday could still end with a bang and a flood of goals at points at Anfield, as Liverpool host Newcastle United.

At least that is what the 1.5 million managers who have captained Mohamed Salah will be expecting, having seen Harry Kane muster just an assist in Spurs’ victory over Huddersfield.

Salah is the top captain pick for a third successive Gameweek and has surpassed Kane’s tally in each of the last four Gameweeks, scoring 46 points to 18. He has every opportunity to extend that run and also edge ahead in the race for the Golden Boot this evening.

But Liverpool are not all about Salah. Roberto Firmino has also been incredibly consistent, notching eight goals in his last ten Gameweek starts in what has been his most productive Fantasy campaign.

Meanwhile, Sadio Mane is back in the groove as a goal threat having fired more shots than any Liverpool player in the Gameweek 28 win over West Ham, notching the Reds’ fourth goal.

But it’s a defender who proved the most popular transfer target in the Liverpool camp prior to today’s deadline. Andrew Robertson was picked up by 117,000 new managers and will look to build on his exceptional display against the Hammers last time out. The Scot starts again and has featured in 14 of the last 15 Gameweeks now.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    To what degree is your captaincy choice based on that of those in your mini-league?

    Everyone in the top 10 of my ML captains Salah so yet another reason to do so. Captained Kane against Arsenal and 6 points for a game-winner was just not good enough.

      Not at all

      I dont look at my leagues. Rank dictates it though. I would have captained Salah loads more if I was in the top 10k

      Last year when I was fighting in a two horse race I did consider a little what my rival would do, but never enough for me to try and 'bluff' him just for the sake of it. Go with the cliche, highest points scorer .

      he got 6 due to big chances missed. if they go in its 13 or 17 not 6

        True, but he did the same thing against Palace. Believe me, I wish he had scored that second header.

          im of the camp if you have paid 12 for kane you have to captain based on what he is capable of which is a bunch of goals. its not happened thats how it can go

    Salah will lose the baps again if he keeps losing the ball.

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years

  14. Viper

    Almost a Robertson assist for Salah. Had his shot blocked

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      By a hand?

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Yes. Don't think it was a pen though

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Brilliant touch.

  15. Speédy

    Robertson has created 2 chances in this game. Why are his baps so low?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

    Gerrard owners denied another jammy penalty goal,

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Remember Gerrard at Old Trafford when he had like 9 pens.

      He was my captain.

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 12 Years

        Missed peno as my captain cost me 20 odd points.
